/szc\, I really like the Silhouette 3-ini-1 skin.
If I may make a suggestion, can you move the "On-Demand Scan" button down (picture 1), and when it is clicked, it will move up with the other three and stay on top (picture 2)?
I'm sorry, but as I mentioned earlier in this thread, it's not possible to nest one animation sequence inside another one... actually, it is possible, but one of those two animation sequences contains buttons, not just plain animation. Buttons also have their function, so it's not easy to control 2 animations and 4 different buttons states. If you want, I can make it even more complicated this way - each one of those 3 buttons at the bottom has 5 different button states (normal, mouse over, mouse press, pressed and in use, and pressed but not in use). Also, On-Demand button has 3 states (normal, hover and press). Try to add those animation sequences and bunch of information inside... you'll get pretty ugly picture. So, I'm affraid, we should leave it this way... 
EDIT: hehe... I made it ! Take a look in here:

Also, I think that the colors look a bit too washed out, if you know what I mean. What about bringing a bit more colour to the "avast! antivirus" title area and the shield?
It is possible, but believe me, it doesn't look too good. I wanted to bring the focus to what's important on the screen, not those additional adornment. That just part of the design, and I really believe it looks good this way. Buttons and functions are what is most important.
Also, If I make everything with transparency value 255 (totally visible and not "washed out", just like on your picture), what do you think would it be possible to see those infomration in Sliding Panels ? No, it wouldn't be possible at all. So, I think that most important right now is, how that skin behaves. See example here (first picture looks great, but when in action, when you see those sliding panels, it would look like... I don't wanna say that word...
). Believe me, I tried everything, and I know exactly what are the limitations when you work with these things... avast! sign (logo) looks wonderful when in full color with no transparency, but unfortunatelly, that area where logo sits, is reserved for sliding panels... no room for everything

Darker ? They are dark brown already, and that's exactly the color from those buttons and banners from the avast! official web site. As I said before, this skin is based on avast! official web site design, and I don't wanna go far from that... If you guys prefer light-coloured buttons, there is a plently of skins in download section... some of them are already made with light coloured buttons...

Sasha, did you remove the status bar?
What about the 'big' window title (with the word avast...)?
Which status bar Technical ? This skin never had any status bar... Also, what about big window title ? There is already
avast! antivirus logo over there.
